eInfochips spreading its wings in India and also at global-level. Chennai is the 11th Design center. During last year, eInfochips expanded its footprint and opened centers across India and globally (Egypt and Mexico) to cater to strong customer demand and business growth.
In Chennai, the eInfochips design center has started its operations nearly 5 months ago with 35 engineers and is looking to tap the talent-pool in the state and hire over 100 engineers in the next six months. The company will hire engineers in the areas of embedded systems, hardware design, silicon design, and digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud, and blockchain.
Reply to a query, Prasanna Venkatesan Kesavan, Associate Director Engineering and Head of Chennai Design Centre said, “The company may go for campus hiring during the later part of this year. The fresh engineering graduates from the institutions would be given adequate training.”
Talking to reporters, Mangesh Kulkarni, Vice President & General Manager (ASIC) said, “As of now the company has 3 manufacturing vendors operating under the Chennai Design Centre. The eInfochips will always ensure quality and testing of products manufactured by its vendors.”
Commenting on the opening of the Chennai office, Sumit Sethi, Chief Operating Officer, eInfochips, said, “At eInfochips, we build an ecosystem that enables our people to excel professionally while experiencing personal growth. One big enabler for this is the freedom and flexibility that we offer. With the opening of our Chennai office, we can tap into Chennai’s and Tamil Nadu’s unparalleled talent pool.”
Product Engineering Services are seen playing an even more crucial role than before. One of the reasons that is driving this change is the need for companies to de-risk themselves from being dependent on a single critical component – such as chips, or a power source, or memory. eInfochips can help companies redesign, and re-engineer their products in a way that can lead to benefits such as reduced time to market and avoiding revenue loss.
Apart from the fact that our presence in Chennai will give us access to the pool of talent, the Chennai office will offer our Chipmates from across India to have more flexibility and freedom in choosing their work location.
